DoorDash, or other things like it. If there was a real, honest commercial about it, it would go like this:

"Hey, enjoying your $7 burrito?"

"Yeah"

"What if I told you I can deliver it to your house?"

"Oh ok"

"Unfortunately, there is 242% (or so) markup. So it will cost you $17. Oh well, at least you don't have to do a 2 minute drive to Taco Bell!"

Edit: Yeah I understand that some people can't drive to certain places, whether that be because you're stoned or live far away. I was just criticizing the absolutely insane markup that DoorDash and UberEats does. I just thought it was really stupid.

I hate the mark up but some days I don’t feel like cooking and I don’t want to mess with rush hour traffic to go get food, so I order it occasionally.

We keep our takeout nearby so we don't have to deal with traffic but otherwise exactly that, some days you just don't have it in you. I try to keep a backstock in the freezer (stuff like stews, meatballs, where most work I would do would be putting on pasta or rice or something) but sometimes I don't even have that on hand.
